CBR Warfare Flashcards
EAWS
Chemical Warfare
chemical agents that are intended for use in military operations to kill, serious injury, or incapacitate personnel due to their physiological effect
4 types of chemical agents
nerve agents
blister agents
blood agents
choking agents
M9 chemical agent detector paper
detects the purpose of liquid chemical agents by turning a reddish color
Atropine/2-PAM-chloride
a specific therapy for nerve agent casualties, they are used for intramuscular injection, self-aid or first aid
Biological Warfare
agents cause disease, sickness, or death to reduce the effectiveness of opting combatant forces
Pathogens
bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and prions
Chemical/Biological IPE
individual protective equipment
masks, gloves garments, liners overboots/laces and decontamination kits
Radiological Warfare
the deliberate use of radiological weapons
5 types of nuclear explosions
high altitude are bursts
air bursts
surface bursts
deep underwater
Toxins
based on organisms that provide them and the physiological effects the toxins caused in humans
Deep-shelter
provides maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations
Ready-shelter
provides minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain close to battle stations
DT-60 diameter
dosimeter is a non-self reading high range casualty dosimeter, determines the total amount of gamma radiation
MOPP
management tool that is used to coordinate the use of systems and equipment in chemical or biological environment
5 levels of MOPP
MOPP level 0, MOPP level 1, MOPP level 2, MOPP level 3, MOPP level 4
